It's a completely new scale for us, and all of our allies and enemies are far away. And the DM didn't hold back. He's layering Theros on top of our homebrew reskin, and we're already embroiled in a plot by a Returned to collect the artifacts left behind by the gods to become divine. After an epic escape from their forces, we are sailing away with the dead and un-revivable (so far) body of the oracle he had come to slay (and succeeded in doing so), knowing of multiple divine artifacts he has - a lyre that allows him to summon monsters, a sword he killed the oracle with in a single blow, and a starry shroud, the same stars appearing on her death wound (and preventing her raising).Just a very dramatic start to a whole new season of the campaign on a much bigger canvas.</blockquote>
